Item description from the seller

In a most anticipated novel by Parade, Buzzfeed, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, She Reads, The Seattle Times, BookRiot, and more, a professor of literature finds herself literally immersed in a work of fiction from the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Year Slip and The Dead Romantics.

Eileen Merriweather loves to lose herself in happily-ever-afters—of the fictional kind, where men don't leave you at the altar. Seeking solace, she is determined to attend her annual book club retreat, craving the comfort of good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures. But her journey takes an unexpected turn when her car breaks down, stranding her in a quaint, seemingly fictional town.

Eileen soon discovers she is in Eloraton, the idyllic setting of her favorite romance series. Everything in Eloraton feels perfect, from the sweet honey taffy at the candy store to the slightly burnt burgers at the local bar, and the predictable afternoon rain. Yet, the town is mysteriously frozen in time, stuck in the unfinished manuscript of its late author.

Convinced that her purpose is to complete the story and bring Eloraton to its rightful conclusion, Eileen sets to work. However, her plans are complicated by a grumpy, enigmatic bookstore owner with mint-green eyes and an irritatingly sexy demeanor. This character doesn't seem to fit into the story, and he is adamantly opposed to Eileen finishing the book.

As Eileen delves deeper into the narrative, she begins to suspect that her own happily-ever-after might be tied to the destiny of Eloraton and its mysterious inhabitants. This charming novel blends romance, literary magic, and the quest for a perfect ending, highlighting the unexpected ways fiction and reality can intertwine.
